Form & Verdict
Finished sixth in a 7f Curragh maiden on his 2yo debut, a race where the five to beat him ended 2025 rated 126, 103, 94, 67 and 92; left Dermot Weld for 6,000gns last summer and he has finished out the back in two 1m runs here this winter; drops in trip for his handicap debut; betting useful.

Won a weak 6f event at Newcastle on his handicap debut in February; not so good in either run since, especially when beaten a long way at Ripon 12 days ago on his return to turf; only of interest if backed.

He was ending a near two-year losing run when popping up in a C&D handicap last week; doesn't tend to hold his form for too long but he did win back-to-back in 2024; not discounted under a penalty.

The most encouraging of her three runs came when fourth of seven, beaten 11l, in an 8.6f novice at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; potential improver now handicapping at a low level and she is bred to be a sprinter; worth a market check.

Both turf wins have been on good to firm, the most recent in a three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f) in June; didn't get the best of passages when fifth in a race won by Royal Duke over C&D two weeks ago but ground slower than good would be a slight concern.

Two wins last year (6f, good to firm/5f AW) in a visor and he was back on the scoresheet when taking three-runner handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June; two lesser runs followed but he's edging back down the weights.

Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he won well at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June, but had just two rivals to beat; only sixth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) since and he's never won off a mark this high.

Close third off today's mark at Newcastle (1m, AW; first-time visor) in July but was always behind in C&D classified (good to soft; no headgear) for new stable last month and is now 0-20; has the visor back on today but still looks risky.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D handicap off 21lb higher just over two years ago; ended 2024 quietly and he was well beaten in four runs for this yard last year; been given a chance by the handicapper on AW so couldn't completely dismiss, for all there are obvious risks.

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky.
